Philippines 2010










Recent visit to Cebu and Mindanao...


Living in community was wonderful and left me wanting for my nation.
Fear stops people... My husband keeps quoting 'Belief determines behaviour'.
When a boundary is violated or there is a misunderstanding the wall goes up...
Who wants to be hurt again?
It is understandable but too often this wall is put in place because being hurt once... is enough!
I digress from the actual trip...

The photo is near a very poor area we visited within Cebu which was recently burnt out.

Man plans his way and God directs his path
- describes the journey this time.

God proved Himself over and over again to be loving and healing the people.
People walked away backs pain free; hearing restored and a few without the aid of walking canes.
We trained the people we worked with... young children to the elder!
We became jobless... they ran with the new tools they got!
The speed with which they grew was incredible and they were fearless.

One woman wrote this after her encounter with Jesus...

Things happen so fast in these past few days...

from being easy normal life to easy but meaningful & inspiring life...

the changes was just a few days but the unbelievable thing is... how it affects my whole being... my low self-esteem has grown... all the hatred gone...

honestly... the feeling was like a Father had offered His Hand to me...

& I grabbed His Hand... He hugged me so tight... kissed my forehead...

I've never felt this better in my whole life..!

nothing matters, even my sickness, than being reunited with Jesus...

after this amazing reunion...

I can see my road ahead clearly... this time... knowing Jesus is within me... though there would be lots of weeds to clean on my way.. my strength won't fail me anymore... Amen!!
